The City of Mount Pearl is home to many amazing people and we want to recognize those who go above and beyond!

Our Best in Mount Pearl Awards honour our most outstanding citizens who through their achievements and extraordinary efforts have made exemplary contributions to the community.

These awards provide us with an opportunity to showcase residents, groups or businesses who “lead the pack”, take risks to innovate, establish new partnerships, question established ways of doing things and pioneer new approaches. The awards will recognize ideas and people that rise above challenges with vision, creativity and teamwork.
